ENVIRONMENTAL LAW MALTA

The importance of environment and planning legislation in Malta cannot be overestimated. In a densely populated country where the available land is limited, it is understandable that land development will be thoroughly regulated in that a balance must be achieved between the interests of the developer and the public interest of protecting the environment and historical heritage.  

 

 

This, however, means that whoever is involved in property development and acquisition will need clear and precise guidance regarding the implications of the relevant laws. One must emphasise that planning law does not only deal with construction but also with change of use applications such as the change of use of a palazzo to an office or of a large house to a boutique hotel. 

 

 

Mamo TCV has established a fine reputation in this field. We pride ourselves in keeping abreast of all developments in planning law, including circulars issued to architects by the Malta Environment and Planning Authority, in such a way that we are informed of the latest policy and design guidelines. Indeed, rather than the general public, the clients of Mamo TCV in this field of law are mainly firms of architects.
